The BBC Sport account is just behind the Sky Sports News account but is on my list because of the fact they also tweet links to in depth stories rather than just the headlines. As well as this, the BBC provides Live Text Commentary on many events and I find them very helpful when I don't have access to the TV. Similarly to Sky Sports News, the BBC is great for general and personal use when writing articles and keeping up to date with all different sports types. The fact it offers Live Commentary as well as links to the sportsday feature on the BBC website where you are able to keep up to date with instant news and public opinions.
